I went to The Woods at Holly Tree. The tour itself wasn't quite as well managed. They were a little short staffed. The people that took us around, I don't think were part of the sales staff. They didn't really go into as much detail about the actual service that they provide; the person wasn't used to giving tours. It was newer than the other one we visited, very nice-looking building, and very clean on the inside and outside. People still driving could either use service parking for no additional charge or you could actually rent a covered garage for your vehicle if that's what you desired. That gives a lot of flexibility to someone who's just kind of wanting independent living and is not ready for nursing care yet. They described dining as ordering off a menu, but we did not eat there.
The residents there seemed very happy. They had residents who were considered ambassadors. They came up and introduced themselves, "If you have any questions, you can ask us in addition to the staff." It was a nice experience. Everything was very nice and clean. They showed us models. My friend was looking for a one-bedroom. At that point, he thought he might want a two-bedroom. When he saw the difference in price, he wasn't interested in that, but they were nice. A sink, a mini-fridge, and a microwave are all they have in the room. The staff did their best, but I think the people that were showing us around weren't used to doing that.

The Woods at Holly Tree is a very nice community with friendly staff. They have nice open spaces, like the dining room and the lounge areas. The apartment seemed spacious enough. They had nice-sized windows, outdoor spaces, and patios. The facility is in a nice shape; it doesn't need any updating or anything like that. I was always very happy with it. It was the sales manager that took me around and answered questions. She was helpful.

My mother-in-law moved here. It's a very lovely facility, they have three meals a day plus three snacks, and they have activities on a daily basis. Most people have their own 1- or 2-bedroom apartments. They have outside activities, the care is very good, the cnas are great, and they answer all our questions when we call or visit. They have an exercise area, they have books on a bookcase, and they have a special activity area where they play bingo and do other activities. It's also pet friendly.

Wonderful community, not sure when it was built but looks new from the exterior. Saw residents outside sitting and talking among themselves, they seem to be happy in senior living. Doesn't look like a nursing home, more of a homely feel which is nice and comforting especially if you have any concerns of moving your loved one.

The biggest compliment I can share is how carrying the staff is . Every one from the office, housekeeping, dietary, seeks to make my mothers stay as good as possible.
Durning Covid-19, for the protection of all, activities and outings are very limited. But when possible they try hard to make things as normal as possible.
Before Covid, activities were what my mother really liked.

The Woods was very nice. The staff seem to be like family. I also enjoyed seeing the smiling faces of the current residents as it truly made the tour much more easier for my dad.

The Woods was very nice. I liked the atmosphere and everything looked beautiful. This was why I said yes to this community. They offered laundry service and three meals a day, or help whenever I need someone to clean the apartment. They had different activities, like bingo.

The Woods at Holly Tree was a very nice place with very nice rooms. I was really impressed with it. They invited my son and me to have lunch with them, and the sales lady gave us a tour. I thought the food was a little on the slim side, but it was very good.

Everything was fine at The Woods at Holly Tree except the location. It was not very accessible, and everything was a little busier. We had a short visit but very nice. The facility was fine, and the staff was very nice.

I took a tour at The Woods at Holly Tree. I saw their rooms and their dining facilities. If it is associated with the Holiday Resorts, it’s a good facility. The appearance was good. It is a new facility. I guess the chef there has a bunch of awards for the cooking that he does, which is impressive. It was more modern than the other community. The facility was newer. I like the building itself a little bit better, but it turned out that it was just a little bit farther down the road. The staff and the lady who gave me the tour were very nice. It was a topnotch facility.

The Woods at Holly Tree was very nice; it just wasn’t what we were looking for because it was just a little too limited. The two-bedroom apartments were very small and did not have full kitchens, only a sink and a little refrigerator. It just wasn’t what my parents were looking for at the time. I understand there’s probably a lot of people that stay there don’t need anything more than that, but you have to furnish your own microwave if you stay there. The people were wonderful, very accommodating, very nice, very helpful, and tried very hard to answer our questions.

The Woods was cheery, very clean, with a lot of activities going on. It was a larger facility, and it was nice. Not only their administration people, but their nursing people and physical therapy people were wonderful and willing to work with my mom's needs and help her. I had lunch there, and they were wonderful.

The Woods at Holly Tree was nice. They showed us two apartments. The one looked okay and the other one my wife didn't like at all because there was no stove in there. The food was okay. It was kind of homey. The people were friendly and the staff was nice.
